Staffing issues affecting maternity services in Gloucestershire are "slowly improving", the hospital trust said.

Highlighting staff shortages, maternity services in the county were rated inadequate by the Care Quality Commission last July.

Maternity services at Cheltenham Aveta Birthing Unit and Stroud were also suspended due to a lack of staff.

Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust said the improvements were down to recruitment drives.
